Campaigns

Before you can start awarding points to your customers, you will need to establish how your customers will earn those points. The foundation of your point policy is the Pay + Earn section, which will determine how many points a customer can earn in a sale, but you can also set up bonus points for new loyalty members, VIP status multipliers, referral bonuses, and more.

Pay + Earn

With this campaign enabled, Loyalty points are awarded in every transaction based on the total or subtotal for that transaction. Enter the number of points-per-dollar you want your customer to earn, select whether you want to assign points based on the subtotal or the total including tax and click Update.

The default setting is 1 point-per-dollar, which is a good baseline to build on. You can then customize how quickly your customers earn rewards by adjusting how many points each reward is worth.

Note: Lightspeed Loyalty does not support half-points and will always round down to the nearest whole number. For example, if you set a points-per-dollar value of 0.5 and your customer spends $3, they will earn 1 loyalty point, not 1.5 loyalty points.

VIPs

With this campaign enabled, your customers will be able to earn their way to VIP status, which will activate a multiplier on how many points they earn per dollar spent.

In the above example, once a customer has spent $1000 in this store (whether all at once or cumulatively over many transactions), they will qualify as a VIP and they will begin earning twice the normal amount of Loyalty points. When a customer reaches this milestone, they are sent a text message informing them of that fact.

Note: When this campaign is enabled for the first time, any customers who already qualify to be VIPs will receive the same text message immediately.

Time Away

With this campaign enabled, customers who have not completed a purchase within the last 30 days will be awarded free points or a one-time reward.

This campaign is only triggered after the first 30-day absence, so if a customer hasn't visited your business for several months, they will only receive the incentive once. However, if that customer returns and then is absent for another 30 days, they will receive the reward a second time.

Sign Up

With this campaign enabled, your customers will receive free Loyalty points or a one-time reward when they sign up for your Loyalty program through their phone.

With this campaign you can entice your customers to sign up by providing them with an immediate discount on their purchase.

Sign Up Anniversary

With this campaign enabled, you'll be able to thank your customers for their participation in your Loyalty program with a one-time reward on the anniversary of the date they signed up.

One-time rewards inherently have an expiration date associated with them, so your customers will have a limited time to redeem their anniversary rewards.

Birthday VIPs

With this campaign enabled, your VIP customers will be awarded a one-time reward on their birthday.

You can also award them free Loyalty points for entering their birthday into their customer profile.

Once you've customized your Loyalty points program by enabling and configuring the desired campaigns, your customers will begin earning Loyalty points and building a closer relationship with your business. In order for them to redeem those points, however, you'll want to make sure you've set up the rewards they can earn.
